Default time to change clutch?

I'm starting to feel a slight "slippage" when hard accelerating. when my engine is cold, i can take off like a bat out of hell, but after some heavy driving, hard acceleration will sometimes stutter and eventually pull hard. I've noted this with my RSM with about a 10-15ps difference from 2500rpm-4400rpm. Whats the stock clutch rated at?(hp wise) Is there anyway to test for slippage?

Does this sound like i should get a new clutch? I'm guessing a stage 2 should be plenty for N/A, but KORE recommends a stage 3. If i'm planning on doing NOS or supercharger later on(next year or two). Should I invest in a stage 3 now or later?

Also is a kore clutch any good? any experiences?
I was also thinking about installing it myself. I read the FAQ on FXtreme, and sounds like a biatch, but i guess i could manage. Is it easy to fubar it?

If you plan on adding more power later, go ahead and get the stage three. If you are going to stick with what you have, the stage2 should be okay.

However you should keep in mind, you might want to trust the seller of the clutch. If they reccomend a beefier clutch, you might want to listen to them. They maybe trying to save you from having to buy a new clutch in 10,000 miles.

Easiest way to tell if the clutch is slipping. Slow down to 10 mph in 2nd gear, and floor it. If the RPMS rise faster than the MPH...your clutch is slipping.

hehehe, i'm always going to add more power. I remember when I added my CAI, i told myself "well thats it...no more....".

So i'm going to cutom build a turbo when i graduate and can work fulltime, otherwise wait for a good supercharger option.
